This is the real challenge of maintaining and protecting our “rural lifestyle”. EDH thinks they live in the country, but it is densely populated by EDC standards. Folks that live within 2 minutes of the freeway think they live in the country, but complain about noise and if it takes them longer than 5 minutes to get anywhere. Then there are those who, well, actually live in the country with low expectations for service, convenience and just want the potholes filled in a timely fashion. The concept of focused development along transportation corridors and around existing infrastructure makes financial sense and it is in fact what will keep the truly rural parts of the county rural. So-called high density in EDC is low density elsewhere. Diversity of lifestyles and development is all about perspective, not conspiracies. Bottom line: location, location, location.

Mon, 08 Oct 2012 00:11:23 +0000http://www.mtdemocrat.com/?p=237104#comment-242212There is a project planned named San Stino. It is bordered by French Creek, Mother Lode Drive and adjacent to Old French Town Rd. 1,000 homes, apartment and businesses totaling 1300 buildings all planned on 645 acres. The home sites are in clumps and not equally spread on the acreage, most are high density housing. Imagine the traffic nightmares of trying to get to Ponderosa High School, or trying to get to Mother Lode from French Creek and trying to get to the Highway 50 entrances.

IMO, EDC does not need the pollution, traffic, crowds, and crime that would come along with high density living regardless whether it is high end or low end priced housing. People who have money don’t necessarily like living in a density packed quarters unless they own a condo on the beach in Hawaii.

They believe wealth is redistributed thru confiscation, which gives them power. They are unfamiliar with the fact that wealth is spread by creating more of it. That strategy restricts their power. The forcast for California is less than hopeful.
